For the past 3 weeks my lower legs have been itching madly every night. Scratching is almost orgasmic then painful then itchy again.
I suspect cat fleas as our recently deceased cat, although she was regularly flea treated, seemed to have some when she died. I used flea powder and spray in every room, binned all her bedding, bought new mattress topper and quilt for us and had her brother de flead at the vets (they said he was fine). I am having the house fumigated when we go away at the end of the month but in the mean time what can I do for the itching?
I have tried
Anti histamine
Hydrocortisone
Lanacane
E45 anti itch
Aqueous cream
Chilled tea bags
Wet towels
Everything works for a short time then off it goes again. I am not sleeping and am driven almost to tears several times a day.
Please help, what do you suggest?
